    interest income for the year 1,474.82

    Explanation:

    the interest income will be the carrying value of the bond times the market rate that is:

    $11,930 x 7.4% = 19,930 x 0.074 = 1,474.82‬

    the difrence beween this value and the actual cash procceds of 940 will be the amortization on the bonds.
